Lazycat is C# .NET library that contains a small HTTP web server with a microframework powered by Scriban - fast, powerful, safe and lightweight scripting language. It does not require having IIS server installed or any of the ASP.NET libraries in order to run.
As of right now, it is only a hobby, therefore, the project is not meant to be served in a production environment!
The first parameter in the Start method is used for root directory of the web application.
public static WebServer server = new WebServer();
public static void Main(string[] args) {
server.Start("/Web", 8084);
Console.ReadKey();
}This should print out a message SERVER: Started on followed by the port that you have assigned.
Add a web route using the AddWebRoute that takes in route path (e.g "index", "faq", ...) and a method that will be executed once a request reaches that path.
server.AddWebRoute("Index", IndexPage);
// ...
private static void IndexPage() {
ScriptObject pageParams = new ScriptObject();
pageParams.Add("variable", "World");
server.RenderWebTemplate("index.html", pageParams);
